But rsync is still a convenient way to mirror a directory structure. > wget's mirror functionality isn't great.

Not as convenient as just adding yet another rsync if you run a largish mirror at least. But that might not be the case here. /Mattias Wadenstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
